Bruce Springsteen Gets Stranded In N.J., Gets Help

Bruce Springsteen may be born to run, but this weekend he needed some help getting moving.

The legendary rocker was stranded on his motorcycle in New Jersey this weekend, and he had to get assistance.

A group from the Freehold American Legion was riding after a Veterans Day event Friday, and Dan Barkalow told The Associated Press he saw a motorcyclist up ahead near Allaire State Park in Wall Township.

"Bikers gotta stick together," Barkalow told The Associated Press. "I stopped to see if he needed help, and it was Bruce."

Barkalow said they tried to help get Springsteen's bike running, but then they couldn't, according to the report.

Springsteen, who was wearing a brown riding jacket and a red handkerchief, hopped on the back of Ryan Bailey's bike, and they headed to a bar, where he bought a round of drinks for his helpers, according to The Asbury Park Press.

"We sat there and shot the breeze for a half hour, 45 minutes till his ride showed up," Barkalow said in the reports. "Nice guy, real down to earth. Just talked about motorcycles and his old Freehold days."

Springsteen was raised in Freehold and lives in Colts Neck. The American Legion post says Springsteen is eligible to join since his father was a veteran, according to the AP.
